Noah Hobbs

Noah Hobbs (born Alfred Bruce Noah Hobbs, 23 July 2004) is an English road racing and track cyclist who currently rides for UCI World Tour team EF Education-EasyPost. His career highlights include leading the 2023 Arctic Race of Norway after Stage 2 and winning a gold medal in the under-23 Team Pursuit at the 2023 UEC European Track Championships.

Hobbs has described himself as a sprinter, but one who can "get over some climbs that some of the other pure sprinters might struggle on." He also trains with the Great Britain track squad at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester and was selected to ride for the Great Britain squad at the 2023 Tour of Britain.

Career

Hobbs joined Groupama–FDJ Continental Team for the 2022 season and finished the year with a strong performance at the Keizer der Juniores, an age-category event in Belgium. He finished second on Stage 2 and won the third and final stage on his way to third-place finishes in both the overall and mountain classifications.

He continued with the team for the 2023 season and made his breakthrough in a professional race at the 2023 Arctic Race of Norway. Hobbs started strongly, finishing second on Stage 1 after losing out to Alberto Dainese in the final sprint into Alta. He finished 25th on Stage 2 but gained five bonus seconds courtesy of first and second place finishes on intermediate sprints, giving him a one-second general classification lead over Dainese and stage winner Michele Gazzoli. As well as wearing the leader's "Midnight Sun" jersey, he also led the points and youth classifications at the halfway point of the race. Hobbs fell back on the hillier terrain of Stage 3 which was won by eventual overall winner Stephen Williams. He finished the race in 67th place overall and was third in the final points standings.

He represented Great Britain at elite level for the first time at the 2024 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Denmark.

Hobbs took his first professional road win at the 2026 Heistse Pijl.
